Koth doesn't spawn. Dark Portal will open a red portal to a new arreat summit level full of bear shamans and king koth. If you are playing a build that has a skill or item that locks out ranged skills (treewarden morph, deathlord morph, pouncezon lioness passive, etc), you won't be able to use dark portal.

You'll know when dark portal is possible to use when you have a red glowing orb above your head. That's the aura that allows you to use dark portal. what build are you playing? TSW or SP?

If its allowed. Is there any documentation for the damage in TA, perfect if its on p1,3,5 etc. Im thinking on the amazpn warriors?

what do you mean? they do physical damage

Yes. But how much? Context: Im experimenting with flat dmg reduction.. and diffrent builds for me and a merc.

It depends on the amount of %DR and flat DR you're using against them. You won't be able to make them do zero damage.

Yeah sadly zero damage is abit farfatched (was that corecct spelling?) ;-|

There must be a random number input befor the dmg reduction calculation begin?

i recently rolled a nice circlet with psicrown oskill and i like that skill quite a bit. trying to get the most out of it, i went with an unholy pala. massive attribute bonus lets me go all energy and cast rate is pretty nice plus passive spells and pierce. its quite mana intensive, i havent found a way to spam it, but combined with shatter the flesh oskill from

, the kill speed is quite decent. any other good ideas how to utilize this skill? i was thinking maybe an eagle stance barb or some kind of sorc to use mana sweep.

eagle stance barb / embalming necro / mana sweep sorc or any other build capable of good mana regeneration . last time i've used in with an assassin build . overall it looks great but it's not very efficient later on in destruction without godlike gear and 500 sigs eaten so you can have lots of energy for it to deal mnore damage . viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18769&p=174536#p174536

you should aim for +16 to it in order to get more damage per point into energy .
